Acupuncture and cancer survivorship

I attended this workshop by Beverley de Valois and here is what she has to say

“In the U.K there are nearly two million people living with or beyond cancer,a figure forecast to double by 2030.Early diagnosis and treatment mean that people are living longer after diagnosis and treatment.The impact of cancer,however continues after treatment is finished,and survivors face many challenges-practical,physical, and emotional-in restoring their lives after cancer.”

As for Acupuncture she goes on to say

“Traditional acupuncture can play an important role in the ongoing supportive care of people adjusting to life after cancer diagnosis and treatment.With its ability to focus on treating the person,and not merely the symptoms(or the disease),it offers a comprehensive package of care that can address the complex physical,emotional and mental needs of people coping with a chronic condition.”
